Wed., Jan. 20: Better Than Ezra beats one-hit wonderdom

Though they’re widely known for a single tune, “Good”-doers Better Than Ezra managed to crush the “one-hit-wonder” tag -- not by having another hit, but by displaying that they didn’t need one.

Through a steady recorded output and a touring schedule that’s put them through Music City at least once a year, they’re able to headline sizable rooms without appearing like the Gen-Y equivalent of Flock of Seagulls.

Local rock trivia time: The band's Paper Empire disc contains two songs that appeared on Jeremy Lister’s 2007 EP — frontman Kevin Griffin penned them with the Nashville songwriter.

Better Than Ezra returns to Nashville on Wednesday, Jan. 20 for a show at the Wildhorse Saloon (120 Second Ave. N., 902-8200). Things start up at 7:30 p.m., and tickets run $20-$50.
